Pease keep in mind that we offer open enrollment and have a limited
number of shares available each season, filling them on a first-come,
first-served basis. We encourage you to contact us with any questions
and sign up as soon as possible to secure your share of wonderful food
for the upcoming season.

Community Supported
Agriculture
or CSA is a unique collaboration between farmer, land and
community members. Members of a community purchase a “farm share” of a
farm for the growing season in return for a weekly portion of the
harvest throughout the season.

Shareholders have the joy of knowing
where, when and how their food is being grown and supporting a local,
small business. The Athens Hills CSA offers two seasonal Community
Supported Agriculture programs.

The Summer CSA begins in mid-June and
runs through the end of October. The Winter CSA begins in early
December and continues through the end of April (with a two-week break
at the holidays).

Each season offers twenty weeks of vegetables
delivered to your designated pick-up location.

When you become a CSA
member you will receive a weekly share of 7-9 vegetables. The
vegetables available from week to week change as the growing season
progresses. This will give you a chance to experience the whole range
of produce we harvest throughout the winter and summer seasons.

We offer certified
organic vegetables freshly picked, rinsed and packed for easy pick-up.
Each share member is offered a wide assortment of produce from our
bountiful harvest.

All of the vegetables, herbs and mushrooms
that we grow are certified organic.

The only difference between the Full and Half Shares in our CSA program
is that the Full Shares come EVERY week, while the Half Shares come
EVERY OTHER week; each share contains the same amount of food though.
That means 20 pick-ups (fruit is only for 16 weeks) for Full Share Members and 10 pick-ups
(fruit is 8 weeks) for Half
Share Members.

Any of these can be added individually, or you
can choose a Combination Share, which includes our veggies plus all of
the Partner Items at a discounted price. These items come from other
local producers in the Athens area.

We post these items, as well as updated photos of the farm, on
our blog site. You can go there now to see the newsletters that are
going with our current CSA program.

Many members have commented that the newsletters and blog site are
important tools in not only maximizing the benefits of their share, but
also in developing a relationship with the farm that is producing their
food.

We celebrate and further strengthen that relationship through our
seasonal Open Farm Days, where everyone is invited to the farm to share
a meal together, meet all of the farm crew and take a
tour of the farm
to see how and why we grow your food the way we do. It is an opportunity
for our members to ask any questions they have about our CSA program and
Green Edge Gardens.

We drop off our CSA shares at our various pickup locations on Wednesdays, as well as Saturdays at the Athens
Farmers Market. Each site has its own set of hours for pick-up, but in general they go
from early afternoon through dinnertime.

Columbus members
pick up their shares on Wednesday at one of these locations: Bexley,
Clintonville, Dublin, Hilliard/Upper Arlington and New Albany.

Athens members
pick up their shares on Wednesday at the farm or in town at the Athens
Community Center town at the Athens Community Center, Ohio
University and other local businesses.

Marietta and Belpre members
pick up their shares on Wednesday from 3-6 at Blennerhassett Ave.
in Belpre or Wednesday from 4-7 in Marietta at Jubilee Gardens, 900
Green St.
